Well, it's day #3 of our sneak peeks! I hesitate to say we've saved the best for last as they're all the BEST! However, today's set is another Torico illustrated set.

A year ago TSG friend Teresa W. came to me (Jessica) asking for a school themed set that was versatile enough that teachers could use it to make projects for their students instead of just the other way around. As soon as I started working with Torico, I knew that she was just the artist to illustrate the perfect images for this set! Believe In You includes many adorable school themed images along with sentiments to create projects for your teacher as well as from :)

Believe In You is a 6x8 stamp set that includes a total of 37 of stamps and will sell for $24.

Would you like a chance to win the Believe In You stamp set? Here’s what you need to do: go to each of the Trendsetter’s Blogs and leave a comment on their Believe In You Blog Hop Challenge post. After you have finished checking out the eye candy and have left some love, return to the TSG Blog to add your name to the Mr. Linky at the bottom of this Blog Hop Challenge post. A winner will be chosen randomly using a random number generator to receive their very own Believe In You stamp set. The winner will be announced Saturday (the 28th) during the Release Party Chat.
